Go Mary! Go Mary! Goooooo Team McManus!
Hey I just wanted to wish my friend Mary McManus and her family the best of luck running their first marathon…And the Boston Marathon, no less!
Mary is such an inspiration. From her battle with polio as a 5 year old child to becoming a “super mom” and career woman, then coming face to face with the deterioration of her body from post polio syndrome as an adult in 2007 (only two years ago). To come back from that and then making the decision to run the 2009 Boston Marathon with her family to raise money for Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital! (Here’s the video link to her story on YouTube.) Awesome! Her determination and faith in herself to overcome obstacles is amazing, and I applaud her spirit.
Mary, I know your marathon experience will be a great one no matter the outcome. You will be changed forever by the entire process from start to finish and well beyond.
Thank you for all your positive comments and loving encouragement. They truly mean a lot to me.
Team Vision Runner is cheering for you! In fact here’s a video I made for you! Enjoy… 
How ‘bout it?

Having a dear friend that stands by you all the time is really amazing.
I have watched a movie about a polio victim and the same thing here, she has conquered her challenges and knowing this another triumph over polio, I came to realize that each of us here on earth can always live life to the greatest! Just take one step at a time! : )
